About us
Welcome to the Website of Alfreton and District Rambling Club.
Our club arranges walks, generally every other Sunday. We start at 9.30a.m. and we meet in the car park below Alfreton library and behind the bus station, unless otherwise stated. (See map below). We usually travel by car to the starting point, and try to use as few vehicles as possible. Sometimes we travel by bus or train. We walk between 5-9 miles, nearly always in the Derbyshire countryside. Shorter walks, midweek walks and weekends away are also arranged. We walk at a leisurely pace and stop for coffee and lunch (bring a drink and lunch). We are generally back in Alfreton by late afternoon.
Bring a drink and something to eat. Suitable clothing and footwear is essential.
Walkers are welcome to bring dogs provided they are taken in the owner's car and they respect the country code.
We walk together to provide comfort and safety, but according to our constitution you are ultimately responsible for your own safety.
You are welcome to join us for a walk a few times, before you choose to become a member. The annual membership fee is only £6.
Alfreton Rambling Club has now been going since 1965. We need to be encouraging younger people to get involved for it to carry on being a success. We are short of younger members who are willing to lead walks. Whilst we appreciate not everyone wants to lead a walk, we don't have many non-retired members who do this. Of course everyone is very welcome just to walk with us.
Anyone who would like to become involved in leading any walks would be greatly appreciated.
We have a good,enthusiatic, sociable group at present but for the club to continue we must think of the future.
Any thoughts and ideas from others would be appreciated.
A & D R Club.

Alfreton & District Rambling Club Programme
Sunday
Walk leader - information.
The leader of the walk should inform the Web Master in good time of date, time, length, and with a short description of the walk. A risk assessment is always made and is available on request. We meet at the library car park or the designated starting point. A grid reference point will be given.
A & D R Club.
The club is struggling for walk leaders at present.
The next rambling dates are
Sunday 31st. March. April 14th . April 28th.
May 12th I’m not available for any of these dates.
May 12th is the date for the sponsored walk for Alfreton Football Club so I’m not available for a walk on that date. All our members are welcome to join us on that walk, details will be out later.
Also Thursday 4th April would be a rambling day.
Vince is offering to lead a Bluebell Walk later in April or early May, so for various reasons we’re struggling for leaders . If anyone would like to help out it will be great.
You should now have you invitation to. AGM so hopefully we may be able to have a chat about the way forward

Date place length leader time
The club also arrange holidays away and some social activities.
AN IDEA FOR THE FUTURE.
Alfreton & District Rambling Club would like to welcome people who would like to meet up with us with the view of possibly taking on some walks which may be of a more challenging nature than the ones we do now.
As the club has now been going more than 50 years, being established in 1965 some of our present members have been walking with the club for many years.
We also have a social side and also take a couple of breaks away each year.
We have a good selection of maps which are available for members to borrow.
If some younger walkers would like to get involved with us and like to have a chat about new walks and ideas please feel free to contact committee members .
You can contact either Dave or Terry on the contact no's on our web page or e mail us. https://alfretonramblers.weebly.com/
Our web page address is https://alfretonramblers.weebly.com/
We could arrange to meet up with you possibly over a beer or a coffee somewhere.
It would be good to think that the club could continue to operate in many years to follow.
We now only walk on alternate Sunday's and on the first Thursday in each month.
